Data Quality Aware Query System

Traditional query systems do not factor in data quality considerations in their response. However, the issue of data quality is of growing importance as individuals as well as corporations are increasingly relying on multiple, often external sources of data to make decisions. Previous papers have identified diverse interpretations of data quality indicating that fitness for use is a fundamental criterion in the evaluation of data quality. In this paper, the authors propose data quality aware query systems that are designed to facilitate access to data which is fit for use.
